Bo Li (date) is a biological chemist and professor of chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her research focuses on the bioactive small molecules produced by bacteria and the ways in which they may help defend the human body against infectious diseases.

Contributions
“No one had seen the true extent of the diversity in these molecules” until this new study, Cubillos-Ruiz says. The first hints of this unexpected diversity surfaced in 2010, when Bo Li and Daniel Sher, members of van der Donk’s and Chisholm’s labs respectively, found that one variety of Prochlorococcus could produce as many as 29 different lanthipeptides.
